PLATE I.--"AND THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD WHICH WERE IN IT."--Rev. xx.
13. (Frontispiece)
(At the Tate Gallery, London)
This panel was intended to form part of a scheme of decoration for the
Dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, and is interesting as an example of
Leighton's methods of design. Both in subject and mode of treatment it
departs markedly from the customary direction of his paintings, but its
largeness of style and imaginative power give it an important place in
the series of his works.
